Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether a company exporting software services with a turnover between 50 lakhs and 1 crore is liable for a tax audit. While the general limit for tax audit under Section 44AB is 2 crores, software services may be considered professional services, which have a lower threshold of 50 lakhs for individuals. However, companies are generally not eligible for presumptive taxation schemes like Section 44AD and must maintain books of account, potentially making them liable for audit if their turnover exceeds the specified limits for professionals.
First of all it is not a case of specified profession bcz it can be an individual assessee and it is a company assessee. and company assessee is not eligible for sec 44AD and tax audit sec 44AB turnover limit exceed 1 cr.
Software services will come under engineering (which is a professional service) ?? and gross receipts are more than 50 lacs which is liable to tax audit
In sec 44ab there is nowhere mentioned that individual or company .There only mentioned as an assesse then the assessee can be an individual or a company ,it makes no difference
Plz refer sec 44AA and then Sec 44ADA then u will believe that specified professional is individual mentioned therein and sec 44AB talk about 50 lacs to such specified professional.
